My husband’s quilt is definitely underway. I am loving this quilt, and my husband has definitely approved it so far. Again, this was heavily influenced by Sarah over at Georgia Girl Quilts, with only a few different low-volume prints that I thought represented my husband. At first I was making each individual block, and then I wised up and remembered chain piecing. Duh.
First up, the blacks and greys.
Then I made the yellows:
Which gave me a chance to break up ironing. I hate ironing.
Almost finished:
I only have one more block to make using this amazing math print I bought just for the hubs. Such a nerdy man.
It’s a good thing he loves this fabric, because it’s the most expensive piece I’ve ever bough. $10.00 for a fat quarter. I sure love that man…
I can’t wait to finish this top completely and figure out what backing fabric to use. I think I’ll take him to the quilt store and let him pick it out. Date night!
I love your colour choices! The trouble with WiP Wednesday is that I see so many cool things I that I want to make too! Hmmm…. low volume plus quilt. So tempting. I think the splurge for that grey fabric was totally worth it!
I love this pattern and the fabrics that you are using.
It’s very cool, in a quiet, masculine way. I can’t believe you didn’t slip some cerise in there somewhere…
FUN!!
That math print is wonderful! Your quilt is coming out very nice with all those great prints. I’m sure that expensive grey fabric will be a nice addition!
10$ a FQ! Yikes. It is pretty cool though. Love the Comma, looks great with the text prints. I have a pile of that I have yet to cut into:)
I was JUST about to ask you where you got that math print, then I saw how much you paid! EEK!! My husband was a math major, is an IT guy now, and volunteers doing advanced math at my son’s school. That would be PERFECT fabric for him, but not at that price! 🙂 This is looking great! And it came together so quickly!
I love the math fabric! I bought the same one, as well as the “how to iron a shirt” print I saw above, and a Pi fabric, and used it in a quilt for my uncle’s wedding (Still a WIP).
It is fantastic!!…I love that math fabric – I would spend that much on it too 🙂
It’s looking great, I love comma! What fun math fabric too.
I love it! 🙂
This looks wonderful! Lucky man! That fabric was worth the $10- sometimes you just need to spend it.
So completely awesome!! One of my recent favorites.
Oh man, best date night ever, haha!! I always make the first one or two blocks without chain piecing to figure out a good method for putting them together/make sure I’m putting them together correctly, then chain piece the rest. The quilt looks great so far, I can’t wait to see how to quilt it! Fingers crossed for your machine’s prompt home coming!
What a great design. You can’t go wrong with Comma, and I love the extra prints you’vemixed in there. This is going to be a stunner.
and that last fat quarter being so expensive is nuts, but some fabrics are worth it – and it will be great in this quilt.
It looks sooo good! i LOVE that math print!!!
Looks great I can’t wait to see the finished quilt either.
I’m so excited to see how many people love the math print fabric. I’m a math major working in the educational field now, and it’s nice to see people appreciate mathematics, whether by doing it or looking at it.
Very cool quilt!
I love this!!! I think that new piece of fabric was a must have! And I must learn from your genius and figure out how to get buying fabric into my dates. 🙂
Date night at the quilt store! Gotta love it!
Looks great, Ashley!!!
Date night! Cute!!
Love the look you have going with this quilt!!
Oh, comma, my love. It’s looking great, I love the pops of colour with the low volume background.
Wow! You have made tremendous process since last week. It’s looking great!
If you hadn’t bought the expensive fabric, you would have thought about it and wished you had, every time you looked at the quilt! So, good decision! 🙂
Wow and wow and wow and wow.
OMG my hubby quilt has a similar color scheme. Hilarious. Looks amazing.
This is one of those quilts that literally knocks my socks off. It is a one-of-a-kinder and one I would love to have hanging here in my house. It is awesome. Your fabric choices and the way you injected the bright colors is so eye catching. Great job. You hubby is a very lucky man.
FABULOUS! I really really dig this quilt xx.
This is such a great quilt so far! I love that the color and fabric choices have made this quilt look so masculine without being over the top and oozing beer and football! It seems like a great quilt that you could both enjoy! Well done. Can’t wait to see the finished project 🙂
Love this. So Forrest!
